Please help! probs with Arma 2

Post by pcal2008 »

Hi,

Hope you can help. I had some feedback before but nothing has worked. I cannot get TIR 5 to work with Arma 2. I have run both Arma and Tir as admin. Oh and when I chnged TIR to run as admin, i lost all my profiles? I have also enabled TIR in Arma 2 but it still doesn't work....... help! :)

Thanks, Paul

What version of the TrackIR software are you using?

Is Arma2 listed in the games list?

Do you have any mods installed for ArmA 2?

What version of Windows are you using?

Any other applications running inthe background?

OK, so both LEDs are green.

You started both applications by right clicking and selecting run as admin.

No other applications down by the clock, on the task bar.

and TrackIR is enabled in the ArmA 2 controllers.

I know. I check that TIR is working then minimise to system tray. Open Arma 2 make sure it's enabled. Arma works as normal but with no head track!! ... Don't know why. As I said, both greens are showing....... What do you suggest Vincent?

Have you tried a clean install of both applications?

No - and I really don't want to do that unless i have to. Why do you think that would help? I'm assuming you've tested it. It's weird that the game led is on and Arma isn't pickig up the TIR. I could try a clean install of Arma but is there anything else I could look for, or another test I could do? I can't help but think i'm missing something....
